Sketchbook Project 1st & 2nd Spread

Okee dokee...so, these are my first two spreads for the Sketchbook project. I have turned this into my second Children's book. I'm hoping this comes together nicely as it's a dream of mine to be a children's author sometime in my life. This is one of my 2390482039849283409 dreams so, I'm working on it! :)

The first page says:A million little fishies in the sea.

Second page Says:A million little stars in the sky. Don't you see?I'm pretty sure that period should be a comma? Any suggestions - it just doesn't seem right to me gramatically. I'm no gramatical genius - but, it just doesn't feel right.

Anyhow, I hope you enjoy and come back to see how my story unfolds! :)

Also, I wanted to thank each and every one of you for the love, support, and encouragement you all provide to me daily. Several of you have become extremely special to me and I respect each of you and your talents. You're beautiful, and wonderfully creative - I just want you all to know that. You have become very important parts of my life that can not be replaced. Thank you a million times. You have helped to save me from myself and I am thankful for you all daily.

Toni, what a wonderful start to your children's book. And I can TOTALLY see this as a story book. I can almost taste your vision. I am so excited for you and have every confidence in your ideas. You go girl! XOXO

It's a joy to be your friend, beautiful Toni. And I love your spreads!!!! Your fishes are so darn cute. I think it should be a comma too for the stars. But I don't think the grammar police will be checking. I bet that page looks lovely in person.. Sox

About Me

I currently live in Vancouver, WA with my Fiance Erik, our dogs Halo and Thor and my younger brother. We have a lovely little home where creativity flows and is embraced. I don't want much t.v. because it makes me lazy. I drink lots of tea & coffee. French Fries are my weakness! I love being outside. Cooking is one of my greatest passions. I hope to own a bakery someday where I make over-sized Chocolate cupcakes, with cream cheese filling, and lots of frosting! You've never met a dreamer like me. I have a new dream to fulfill weekly. I keep a list of all my 'Must Do's & Want To's' and I add to it daily. I love people. I'm curious to a fault. I say what I mean, and mean what I say. You'll never have to guess what I'm thinking because I will always tell you. Thank you for stoppin' by!

What Tarot Card Am I?

You are Strength

Courage, strength, fortitude. Power not arrested in the act of judgement, but passing on to further action, sometimes obstinacy.

This is a card of courage and energy. It represents both the Lion's hot, roaring energy, and the Maiden's steadfast will. The innocent Maiden is unafraid, undaunted, and indomitable. In some cards she opens the lion's mouth, in others she shuts it. Either way, she proves that inner strength is more powerful than raw physical strength. That forces can be controlled and used to score a victory is very close to the message of the Chariot, which might be why, in some decks, it is Justice that is card 8 instead of Strength. With strength you can control not only the situation, but yourself. It is a card about anger and impulse management, about creative answers, leadership and maintaining one's personal honor. It can also stand for a steadfast friend.
